Jack the Stripper was the nickname given to an unknown serial killer responsible for what came to be known as the London "Nude" Murders (also known as the Hammersmith Murders or Hammersmith Nudes case), from 1964-1965.

His victimology was similar to that of his legendary namesake, Jack the Ripper.

Jack of Jumps by David Seabrook (Grant May 2006) doesn’t name the suspect but he is an easily identifiable disgraced cop.

Jack the Ripper is the pseudonym given to an unidentified serial killer (or killers) active in the largely impoverished Whitechapel area of London in the second half of 1888.

Jack the Ripper has been featured in a number of works of fiction, either as the central character or in a more peripheral role.

In 2006, Jack the Ripper was selected by the BBC History Magazine and its readers as the worst Briton in history.

MURDER IN THE UK - JACK THE STRIPPER(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)

Seventy years after "Jack the Ripper" murdered and disemboweled prostitutes in London's East end, a new generation of prostitutes learned to live with the ever-present fear of a lurking killer.

This "Jack" carried no knife, but he was every bit as lethal (claiming seven victims to the Ripper's five) and possessed of far greater longevity (operating over nearly six years, compared to the Ripper's 10 weeks).

The cause of death was difficult to ascertain, and homicide investigators later tried to disconnect both murders from the "Stripper" series, but today the better evidence suggests that these were practice runs, the early crimes committed by a killer how had yet to hit his stride.

Seventy years after Jack the Ripper murdered and disemboweled prostitutes in London's East End, a new generation of hookers learned to live with the ever-present fear of a lurking killer.

This "Jack" carried no knife and penned no jaunty letters to the press, but he was every bit as lethal (claiming eight victims to the Ripper's five) and possessed of far greater longevity (operating over nearly six years, instead of the Ripper's ten weeks).

While homicide detectives in New York were stalking the elusive "Son of Sam," their counterparts in Georgia were attempting to identify a killer with a similar M.0., who preyed on couples parked on darkened lanes, attacking from the shadows, interrupting passion with the searing blasts of point-blank gunfire.

The London press quickly dubbed this newest serial killer "Jack The Stripper" and waited for another victim, which the unknown slayer provided on July 14 when Mary Fleming was found dead, naked with her dentures missing.

The final victim was Bridgett O'Hara, last seen on January 11, 1965, and found mummified under some bushes near a paint shop, which was interesting since some of the women had very tiny dots of paint on their corpses when found.

Police suspect two women found prior to the six known victims may have been part of the string of slayings, but the link is debated to this day.

All of the victims were working as prostitutes and died when their killer, dubbed Jack the Stripper, strangled or choked them during sex.

The Stripper was a man who worked as a night security guard in Chiswick and the police knew who he was.

Ok I still don't by that Mills was the Stripper but this story demonstrates why many in the underworld were convinced Mills was the Stripper and why his name has been consistantly linked over the years to these crimes.

Named partly after the infamous ripper for killing women and also because of his signature of stripping his victims, Jack the Stripper killed women in London for a few years, before his reign finally ended.

The first victim was 30 year-old Hannah Tailford, who was discovered drowned in the River Thames wearing only her stockings and with her underwear stuffed in her mouth, on February 2nd 1964.

The killings ended there, but the identity of the Stripper was never discovered.

In actual fact, the salient grisly similarities of the killings led to the wanted person becoming known to the police and the media as Jack the Stripper.

At one stage the police reckoned that a Jack the Ripper type had murdered eight women – all prostitutes who had worked the Bayswater-Notting Hill area.

Each of them were small women, not more than 5ft 3in tall; each had been stripped naked when found, hence the Jack the Stripper tag.

The outro to this song has it's own title, Jack the Stripper Goin' home, late last night suddenly I got a fright Yeah I looked throught the window and surprised what I saw Fairy boots were dancin' with a dwarf, all right now!

Skelton and Benson also go to great lengths to rehabiliate the reputation of Jack Laird, the series' producer, who until now has widely been seen as a mere studio hack who ruined Serling's pristine vision.

Laird was responsible not only for virtually kicking Serling---possibly the finest writer in the history of the medium---off his own TV series, but also for those awful short comedy "fl-out" sketches that absolutely no one defends---including Skelton and Benson.

It also reveals the infighting between Serling, producer Jack Laird, and the wishes of the "suits" at NBC.
